Explodity

To co-inside with a release of the book, the author Nancy Perloff, who works at The Getty Research Institute, wanted to publish a website showcasing a few of the poems from the collection with both an audio and visual experience.

We took an approved design and created a site that tried to mimic how a book functions in real life by creating a page turner on the web; but we took it one step further. We allowed the user the listen and follow along as the poem is being dictated. The user can even turn on translation in English or transliteration of the hand written poems allowing easier reading. Making it a truly fun experience.
